I grew up with Sesame Street but I didn't know just how far-reaching its influence was! Today, almost eight million viewers across the globe watch the show each week and more than 77 million consider themselves Sesame Street "graduates." They've received more Emmy awards than any other television program– 109 in all. And this year, Sesame Street is actually celebrating the big 4-0! (I'm slightly relieved they're hitting it before me…)
If your kids can't get enough of Sesame Street, you're in luck. There are two great new DVD releases featuring all their favorite characters ( Elmo, y'all!) in all-new stories the whole family can enjoy together.
Elmo and Friends: Tales of Adventure is action-packed with three incredible stories overflowing with mysterious clues, heroic monsters, and lots of dramatic music! Join Telly as he searches for the Golden Triangle of Destiny; cheer on Elmo as he races against the clock in Elmo’s Amazing Alphabet Race; and help an ant-sized Big Bird alert his friends about his dilemma in The Adventures of Little Big Bird. Elmo and Friends: Tales of Adventure is sure to delight Elmo fans who are looking for a little more excitement than they usually find in the old neighborhood at Sesame Street!
In Being Green, all your favorite Sesame Street friends team up to host their first Earth-a-Thon! The Being Green DVD is available just in time for any Earth Day Celebrations you might be planning. Paul Rudd (sigh) plays Mr. Earth, who teaches Elmo and Abby Cadabby how to be environmentally conscious by recycling, re-using, and conserving water and energy. In her desire to help Elmo to be more “green,” Abby accidentally turns Elmo the color GREEN and can’t remember how to change him back! Being Green also contains 16 pages of downloadable activities and story sheets to extend the learning at home. Teaching budding conservationists the importance of preserving nature’s wonders, Being Green is part of Sesame Workshop’s green-friendly initiatives. In an effort to teach children to love and respect the Earth and its inhabitants, Sesame Street is increasing its environmental messages and materials for kids. In addition, Being Green is printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper or cardstock and is printed with soy-based ink. It also uses an Earth friendlier reduced-plastic compared to other DVD cases and even features a cool die-cut recycling logo inside! And did I mention how cute Paul Rudd is, even when wearing a gigantic globe? Yes, indeed. Mommy likes a guy who's not afraid to dork out with a bunch of Muppets…

I watched Sesame Street every day when I was a kid. I remember when i was about 5 I was playing in the back yard by myself (I spent most of my time outside, unlike kids these days!) and my mom came out and said, "Sesame street is on!" and I said something like I was going to keep playing and she was so shocked. She said, "You DON"T want to watch SESAME STREET??!!" and that made me feel kind of guilty so I asked her to tape it. But she didn't. I think only my dad knew how to work the VCR.
ReplyDeleteI loved Sesame Street as a kid, especially the films/video of kids in NYC. That really made me want to live in a city, especially if you got to have a pet llama. Remember the one where the kid took his llama to the dentist? I thought that was totally normal for kids in NYC. I still remember the song, "Me and my Llama".
ReplyDeleteI had to post the You Tube link for that

And I have your button, so I'm not wasting the comment!
My favorite is related to a Sesame St. book - Ernie's Big Mess. My brother loved that book so much that he wore it out and we owned multiple copies. We also had an Ernie doll that he loved so much that my mom had to reverse engineer it and sew him a new one. He was also Ernie for Halloween one year.
ReplyDeleteNow my son is 2, and I'm pleased to report that his favorite character is Ernie! We even found a used copy of Ernie's Big Mess. I love it.
I remember that I would dress in the color of the character I wanted to be that day. Funny thing - I think I was always trying to pretend to be Cookie Monster so my mom would give me a cookie. :)

ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS remember watching every day as a kid. my favorite was by far oscar the grouch. i always held my breath to see what rude antics he would come out with each day... THANKS for the contest!!!
ReplyDeleteI watched it growing up- with mr hooper and oscar... and loved the show- I loved when oscar would talk about his trash- sorta makes me think he was ahead of his time when he sang he loved trash- maybe he recylced long ago and repurposed
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I used to have a Sesame Street Live record (yes, record - I'm, like, ancient). And that record got played over and over and over... my husband is astounded at my ability to sing the entirety of Rubber Ducky, complete with Ernie impersonation. That was my favorite! I have such fond memories of singing to that record with my puppets (Sesame Street characters, of course!) We didn't have Elmo waaaaay back then, but my 3-year-old thinks he's the bomb. I'd love to win it for him!

I loved cookie monster - I used to get sooo excited and yell to my mom everytime he came on!
ReplyDeleteActually I was at my sister's house yesterday and there on one of my nephew's beds was the Ernie puppet that my brothers and sisters and I used to play with.
ReplyDeleteI also remember going to see the whole gang of characters at a show when I was younger.
I remember running home from school each day and knew I was happy to be home when I would hear the music SUNNY DAYS. Awww my mom would make me a grill cheese sandwich and I would watch my favorite show. I to this day occasionally sing one of the songs. The other day I sang the 12345678910 11 tweeeelve. My husband started laughing - the kids didn't get it.

My fave memory about SS is the stars they have on their show! It is always fun to see who the guests are going to be. I can even watch it now with my niece and nephew and be interested because they have current stars!! The music is so contagious as well!
ReplyDeleteI always loved Bert(and his pigeons) the best. I could never understand how he could put up with Ernie who was,in my opnion, really annoying. I also loved "Guy Smiley", and "The Count". I really loved it all. Oh, and the song "Alligator King" which was an animated short.

Counting and doing the funny laugh with the count was my all time favorite thing. I still love to hear him count to this day.

ReplyDeleteI have your button up on my blog!
ReplyDeleteAs a preschooler, I never missed Sesame Street. It used to come on late afternoons, which meant I ate my snack after naps while watching it. My favorite characters have always been Grover and Ernie & Bert. Today, my daughter adores SS as much as I did....although I do reminisce about the oldies but goodies!

I have such fond memories of watching Sesame Street as a child. (It was nearly the only show on!) But my favorite memories are the ones we make now watching the shows again with our children especially the episodes from the 70s!
ReplyDeleteI am subscribed to your blog!
ReplyDeleteA favorite memory of Sesame Street-I loved to watch Bert and Ernie. I thought they were cute.
ReplyDeleteThe cookie monster and count will never be forgotten.. I think.
ReplyDeleteI loved back when Snuffie was Big Bird's imaginary friend. It made it ok for a kid to have an imaginary friend. I also think that how they dealt with the death of Mr. Hooper was one of the most touching and age-appropriate portrayals of how to deal with the topic of loss and children. I love that Big Bird still has a picture of Mr. Hooper in his nest!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the friendship between Big Bird and Snuffie! I have also loved Bert and Ernie and remember singing the rubber duckie song over and over again! :-)
ReplyDeletekhmorgan_00 [at] yahoo [dot] com
My brothers and I watched Sesame Street all the time as kids. My favorite was Count. And Oscar. In my mind I had this idea of what Oscars home looked like. LOL I still sing the songs to my kids like Ladybug Picnic.
ReplyDeleteWe also had The Monster at the End of the Book. It's about Grover...I have the copy we had when I was a kid...it's probably my favorite childhood item!

My mom was fairly strict about what shows we could watch growing up, so I remember being pretty into Sesame Street. I can recall coming home from half-day of kindergarten and watching it with a bowl of cottage cheese and pineapple every day. Ahh, the big joys of life.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I remember watching Sesame street once a week growing up. It's a little different than most kid's shows now..
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a huge James Taylor fan, and I remember he was on Sesame Street quite often when I was a kid. I'd always run to get her, and we'd watch it together.
ReplyDeleteI follow you!
ReplyDeleteI definitely remember watching Sesame Street, but the memory I'm going with is when my now 11 year old would yell to me, "Mommy! It's Elmo's World!" every time. So cute!
ReplyDeleteListening to my grandson sing "Elmo's World"
ReplyDeletemy niece would love this!
ReplyDeletedon't have any...
ReplyDeleteI had a Sesame Street house that opened and was full of the characters. I played with that toy for hours on end sometimes, and I really loved it. I wish I could find one for my kids, but I haven't seen one for many, many years.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Sesame Street memories were just sitting in front of the TV when I was a kid and was fascinated by the characters of the show.

ReplyDeleteI remember being younger and they were running a telethon for PBS and Sesame Street was the featured show during it. My parents donated money and I thought that meant I was going to be one of the kids than hung out on Sesame Street now. I was very disappointed to find out that's not how it worked.

I LOVED when they went to Hawaii. IIRC, Snuffaloug-- Snufful--- Snufalof-- oh, you know who I mean -- Snuffy -- was left behind and he was taken to Hawaii tied under a helicopter. I LOVED that week they were in Hawaii, and I'd LOVE to see it again. Even though I was "too old" by the time the movie came out 25 years ago (Follow that Bird) I still went to the theater to see it!
ReplyDeleteI grew up watching Sesame Street at the house. Funny thing now my song watches it too. Growing up I didn't know much English but I would repeat everything they would say on there. My mom said Thanks to Sesame Street I became a talker, and learned English. I subscribe, I follow your blog, I have your button. super_alba_star@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI remember my daughter "dancing" to the Sesame Street song back when she could barely walk!
ReplyDeleteMy little grandson loves Elmo. When he broke his leg, we had a choice of colors for the cast. One of the choices was red so that is the one he got. As he was wearing the cast until healing, he would refer to his leg with the cast as his "Elmo" leg. He handled it beautifully and we were so happy that he liked the Elmo character so well and Elmo could help him through this period of time. I think he would love Elmo going green..He is four years old now and could get so much from the DVD.
ReplyDeletei would love when actors would guest host a show
ReplyDeleteAs far back as I can remember, my dad was always asked to get things that were up high because he was very tall. Usually to my mum, he would always reply, "Im too tall to be short." Big Bird always said that. Weird this is, he said it in Kermit's voice...
ReplyDeleteMy kids love Sesame Street. When we got a puppy, our 3yr old insisted on naming him Barkley even though it was a girl. You don't see Barkley anymore, but we have videos with him and Big Bird. Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteI remember watching Sesame Street when my children were small. My son loved the show and Cookie Monster was his favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy absolute most memorable moment I had is watching watching Sesame Street with my 4 children. They all have their own distinct favorites and mine is of course the character "Natasha" because that's my name. There is just something about the way their eyes light up as they are mesmirized by the entire show. We've even gone through 8 "Dorothy's (Elmo's goldfish). (My children wanted feeder fish as pets because they figured that they (the fish) shouldn't have to live knowing the would be fed to other fish.) Anyway's my family has been profoundly touched by this show as I'm sure many others have. I just can't wait till I have grandchildren so I can share it with them also.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was always Monsterpiece Theater - Cookie rocks!

I always remember the episode fo Near and Far with Grover. I'm 29 and the other day i was joking at work doing the near and far thing, running down the aisle. It was funny how everyone know where it was from!
ReplyDeleteI loved Snuffy and always watched sesame street. It will always have a special place in my heart. I hope it will have one in my LO's too.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories is learning how to count to three in Japanese!
ReplyDeleteWhen my sister and I were little, she was obsessed with Grover. She even had her face painted as Grover at a fair once.
ReplyDeleteI was always a fan of Grover. I also remember nice old Mr. Hooper.

When I was growing up, we lived in the country and had one of those tvs with the rabbit ears. No reception to get PBS. I was always jealous of the kids who were able to watch Sesame street. But *I* had my Sesame street coloring book and it was my favorite! LOL
ReplyDeleteI watched Sesame Street very often as a child. I remember playing the role of Ernie when I got together with my friend who was a huge fan of Bert. (He always played Bert.) Thanks!
